Brakes and worm gear

The work with the brakes takes a lot of time.I had to get some information about how the brakes are mounted according to the rear axle.I got some help with photos how the rear brakes are mounted.Next was the same problem with the hand brake installation with all the stays and clevis pin.I hope that I now have mounted it  nearly correct next step there is to buy linnings.The engine work are just now waiting for the worm gear that is mounted on the water pump axle that drives the oil pump which is connected via a worm gear to the ignition.Sounds simple!?I have also mounted old tires three of them I do not have the last tire -hope to find some.The bolts for the oilpan are now cleaned and ready to be mounted.

Pistons and spiral gear

The work is progressing with the pistons.The next step is the camshaft and the valves.The handbrake is the next to figure out how it works and how it is mounted on the gearbox.The water pump axel that has an spiral gear that drives the oilpump and the ignition have I perhaps found.If not I have a contact that can make one.

I wish all A Happy New Year !
